I delighted in this cynical, sexy, hopeless, hopeful, Hudson Valley jubilee. See why thousands of readers are using Bookclubs to stay connected. ‘Big Swiss is a dark party a hilarious romp through new age pop psychology, romantic obsession, sapphic acrobatics, dogs, and the desire to end it all. A new – and not entirely honest – relationship is going to be born.Ī relationship that will transform both of their lives. What Greta doesn’t know is that she’s about to bump into Big Swiss in the local dog park. Greta is miles away, sitting at a desk in her own house, wearing only headphones, fingerless gloves, a kimono, and legwarmers, transcribing this disembodied voice. Bold, outlandish, and filled with irresistible characters, Big Swiss is both a love story and also a deft examination of infidelity, mental health, sexual stereotypes, and morefrom an amazingly talented, one-of-a-kind voice in contemporary fiction. Greta and Big Swiss are not in the same room, or even the same building. Nor has Greta actually ever been to Switzerland. Well that’s how Greta imagines seeing her they haven’t actually ever met in person. She’s a head-turner: including the heads of infants and dogs. Greta can see her now: dressed top to toe in white, that adorable gap between her two front teeth, her penetrating blue eyes. That’s Greta’s nickname for her – she is tall, and she is from Switzerland.
